Because You Like to Wash Dishes

Today Joseph was playing airplane with us.  Whenever he flies us places, he always has snacks and ipads for us to use (once we are in the air, of course!)  Today, he put new games on our "ipads" based on our interests.  T.J. got a Magic Schoolbus Dinosaur App (if you only knew the irony of this) because he likes to draw Joseph dinosaurs.  Nora got a "flying horse" app because she likes them (?), and I got a dish washing app.  That's right.  I apparently have conveyed to my child that I like to wash dishes.  Perhaps it's because I spend my days doing it.  Sad sad sad.

Santa 2013

"You and Joseph are going to take a picture with Santa today.  Santa is SO NICE!  Santa brings us presents"

This mantra was spoken over and over in the 3 hours leading up to our Santa visit.  I really didn't think she'd even get near him, I figured she'd cling to me and not let go.  But not only did she sit, she didn't even cry!  What a brave girl!  What a brave girl motivated by presents.  LOL.  Joseph, on the other hand, LOVED it.  He chatted and had a grand old time!  Now, to find a palm tree so his herbivore dinosaurs have something new to eat.  Darn those last minute add-ons!
